I just loaded this episode last night. It was a lot of fun to record. I've sat on it for a few extra weeks, as I wanted to break up some of the seriousness of politics, policy, public land defense, stupid bills in state legislatures, and provide a bit of humor to remind people that even with all the serious battles at hand, there is time for laughs.
Most of you know Fred from his TV shows, his writing, and his hunting with a traditional bow. Fred's background as a trapper is where I first connected with him, long before TV was in any of our plans. And yes, Fred is as excitable in person as you see on TV.
Kyle is very well known in the military and tactical world due to his background as a Delta Force operator and being one of the guys sent in to the real life situation we all watched in the movie Blackhawk Down. Being a good South Dakota farm boy, Kyle came from the hunting trapping background and has followed our stuff for some time. When he first reached out to me a few years back, I thought it was one of those prank calls.
All three of us end up at a lot of Leupold functions, given we are all Leupold ambassadors. Seems that now matter how many people are at the function, the three of us end up around a table telling old stories and hunting lies.
I hope you appreciate an episode without any politics. From here on out, I suspect episodes will carry a heavy dose of public land issues, policy, how politics is hijacking conservation, and other important topics relevant to our platforms. Next episode has three infamous Hunt Talkers as my guest, where we engage in some serious politico-conservation examination.
Thanks to Fred and Kyle for taking the time to do this. I know they are just as busy, or busier than, I am at these trade shows. Would be fun to do another one from a hunting camp where we leave the TV cameras behind.
